I am. Only string that ever broke on me was a LB gold flat after only a couple of weeks. Customer non-service was not helpful. So they’re on my will never do business with them again list.And LaBella quality control and customer service sucks. I’m not holding a grudge
I’m soon to find out how the Pressure Wounds will hold up.
Weather was too nice to generate alien sweat.Speaking of strings..... None of mine have any adverse effect from you playing them for a week, you're losing your touch!

That, and I was also very relaxed being with our lovely Queen.
Is that a euphemism for you were hitting the sauce?
Not only was the weather perfect.
what would you call good customer service from a bass string manufacturer ? a free string? set? shoulder to cry on?And LaBella quality control and customer service sucks. I’m not holding a grudge

It all went so well.
Just a chill time all around.
A third year of camaraderie I’ll never forget.
New string to replace the one that was clearly out of spec. And, then ask for the old one back so QA/QC can determine why the silk wrap was 2” long. Is the machine automated? If so, do they need to update the PM schedule. Is it manual and need more operator training? Is the inspection not doing their job? I guess 40 years in high tech manufacturing has me programmed to expect some level of taking responsibility.
I have to be in Europe the end of October 2025, so not sure 2 trips in 45 days will work for meKeep September open.......It's cooler, less chance of melty Queen.
I can bass face too!
To not tell a customer with a two week old string that broke due to what had to be a defect that they were SOL. Dunlop, SIT and others would no doubt replace the string, based upon posts here over the years.
unrealistic expectations for non mission critical production….then again, they may have been counterfeit…..
Wish I could have been there! Was so looking forward to being back in Seattle and seeing the gang again. At least I got a chance to jam with Geo. And many thanks to he and Dave (along with any others) that helped put the shirts together for the GTG. I just got mine a few days ago and it’s wonderful as are all the pics from the GTG. Can’t wait until next year, I hope to be there this time.
I like melty…Keep September open.......It's cooler, less chance of melty Queen.
